I did intend the hack to be a way to put BNF in the manual, even if it
is just the stripped-down Yacc syntax.  I can see that the comments
probably don't belong.

I'll hack a bit on Nicolas' idea of using the output file from Bison as
a source for the stripped-down Yacc syntax.  When I'm done, I'll submit
another try.
